An autostereoscopic display device comprises a display panel (3) having an array of display pixel elements (5) for producing a display, the display pixel elements being arranged in rows and columns. An imaging arrangement (9) directs the output from different pixel elements to different spatial positions to enable a stereoscopic image to be viewed. The imaging arrangement comprises first and second polarization-sensitive lenticular arrays (50,52), wherein the light incident on the imaging arrangement is controllable to have one of two possible polarizations, and wherein each of the two possible polarizations gives a different 3D mode. These multiple modes can be used to increase the resolution, or increasing the number of views, or provide additional functionality to the display device.

The light modulating dots may include comprise reflective dots, transmissive dots, absorptive dots, or a combination thereof.

As in a normal storage system, an application run on a host issues a data write command or a data read command. A monitor unit monitors the host and a command issued by the host to detect a re-startable point to issue the re-startable point notification to a source storage system. Using the re-startable point as a momentum, the source storage system converts a command stored in a buffering unit into a command for transfer in which redundant data transfer has been curtailed to transfer the command for transfer to a destination storage system. The destination storage system applies the received command to a storage unit. At this time, the command for transfer is restored to an ordinary command which is applied.

An autostereoscopic display system (240) arranged to display an autostereoscopic image, the display system comprising a display panel (400, 500) comprising multiple sub-pixels. The multiple sub-areas of a sub-pixel comprising a high-intensity sub-area, wherein the high-intensity sub-area is arranged to provide light of a higher intensity than the other sub-areas in the multiple sub-areas of the sub-pixel for at least one image value received in the sub-pixel. The high-intensity sub-area may be arranged in the sub-pixel to reduce banding, inter alia, by splitting the multiple sub-areas along a direction parallel to the direction of the columns.

The formation and expansion of cracks do not easily occur so that corrosion resistance of tubular products is remarkably improved. In the meantime, residual stress of tubular products by optimizing weld seams and carrying out thermal processing technology of parent material so that corrosion resistance is further enhanced.

Certain embodiments include a system and method for banding suppression in a B-mode ultrasound image. Banding occurs in a diagnostic image when two or more focal regions having different waveforms and/or frequencies, for example, are combined. The resulting difference in intensity between the focal regions produces banding in the final image. For purposes of illustration only, the method below will be described with two focal zones. Certain embodiments of the present invention reduce banding in a diagnostic image including a plurality of focal zones by processing the first focal zone, determining intensity around the border or “stitch line” between the two focal regions, and adjusting the second focal region based on the difference in intensity. Preferably, processing is done in real time as image frames are updated.

The codec processor includes an SRAM that holds a reference image read from an image storage, and a motion search unit that performs motion search on the basis of a reference image held in the SRAM to generate a prediction block for a target block in an input image. The SRAM holds a reference image having a horizontally equivalent number of pixels to a horizontal number of pixels of the input image and a number of pixels vertically larger than or equal to a vertical motion search range.

To prevent any variation of the grayscale to be originally present from becoming unclear, diminishing banding that is generated when an image including a gradation is displayed. An image processing device obtains image data of an original image including plural pixels, obtains an evaluation value that represents the possibility of the generation of the banding on the basis of the color distribution of a noted area including a target pixel that is any one of the plural pixels, produces an intermediate image of which the color of the target pixel is corrected on the basis of the evaluation value, and causes a corrected image to be output on the basis of the produced intermediate image. A correction amount of the color of the target pixel is varied in accordance with the evaluation value, in the correction of the color.

When there is an access passing between unit disk controllers, the band of a mutual connecting network must be very large in order to exhibit the performance sufficiently, so that the cost is increased. In the present invention, the access number of a logical volume is monitored, the change of an access path is suggested to an upper class device, and the logical volume is moved or copied to each unit disk controller, so that the mutual connecting network is used mainly for copy of the logical volume, thereby reducing the necessary band.

An aim is to provide a technique for obtaining a higher quality print image by reducing a banding caused upon printing using a printing head having nozzle rows. As a solution, an activated nozzle row is reselected each time when the activated nozzle row has discharged ink for a preset number of times, and in each scan, an interval by which the activated nozzle row discharges ink in a main scanning direction is set to be an integer multiple of a resolution of an image to be printed on a print medium in the main scanning direction.
